To celebrate NMIT’s centenary, the Bachelor of Writing and Publishing launched its inaugural Time To Write short story competition offering writers a chance to be published by NMIT’s Yarra Bend Press. In keeping with the centenary, the theme was TIME and we looked for 600 to 1000 word submissions from writers in the following categories 12 to 14 years; 15 to 17 years; 18 to 20 years; Open; and NMIT staff and students. Winners and selected shortlisted works have been published in this anthology. Entries were judged by a panel of NMIT Bachelor of Writing and Publishing lecturers and student writers. The winners were announced at the Time to Write festival launch on Friday 13th July, 2012.
